[QUOTE="Mr. Numismatist, post: 24871384, member: 142588"]I'm working on a reference book for strawberry and other picker tokens and I want some input on what features or information you would want in a reference book. Here are some examples: [LIST] [*]Is a written description of a token's design and lettering helpful, or are pictures sufficient? [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Do you want to know if the token's orientation is medal or coin alignment? [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Should the weight, diameter, composition, reference numbers, date range and rarity be in fine print or in a more prominent position and obvious? If so, which ones or all? [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Does the in-depth information and history belong at the beginning of each town/state's section, or should there only be a summary at the beginning of each section and the more in-depth information somewhere else? [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Are prices, estimated rarity and date ranges necessary even though the figures given may not be entirely accurate? [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Should each state's section have its own unique color band or tab similar to the Red Book? [/LIST] If you have any other suggestions or ideas please don't hesitate to share them. Thank you for your help![/QUOTE]
